I hate how it's always described, in this day and age, as "big." It's not big, at all. If your article is from 1980, you get a pass. Otherwise GTFO with that crap.

Sure they were larger than a 70's 911 and the 914, but not much else other then the random british roadster.
78 928 is 9" shorter than a 78 Corvette, 21" shorter than a 78 Trans-Am, 16" shorter than a 78 XJS, and 7" shorter than a 78 Mercedes 280CE
It's not even a good comparison. Two totally different vehicles. Just like some people talk for the sake of talking, seems like some people write for the sake of writing. I found this article also. I wonder who plagiarized who. https://vervetimes.com/the-1981-pors...rman-trans-am/ I had an 81 Trans Am and a 74 Trans Am. Some pics I found of my 74.
I always liked the 70 1/2 to 74 F body firebirds and camaros. When I was buying them in the late 70's early 80's they were cheap and fun. Had multiple firebirds including a 1974 Formula 400 that had a 71 or 72 455HO in it. Can you spell tire smoke?? Also had a 71 Camaro PRO Z/28,350 solid lifter forged piston motor with the mandatory M22 trans and 3.73 rear.
Just always thought that they looked clean and crisp as compared.
Former 73 Formula 400 AT owner (70-73 best Firebird body style by far), loved that car! I tried buying several before I bought the 928, I see no need for a MT in my 928 as the author suggested.
A college roomate was so proud of his Olds 403 powered '79 Trans Am. I never told him that this was the cheaper engine, with 40 less horsepower than the blue painted true 400 Pontiac engine. It made a Volkswagen-like 180 hp. He was/is an idiot who works for Fells-Wargo these days~

The first car I ever bought was in high school, a 1970 Formula 400 Ram Air III. Loved that car. Wicked fast but even in 1979 I had a hard time finding gas with high enough octane. Sold it for college money 3 years later. Sold through Hemmings to a collector in Texas. Hopefully it still lives.

That was the only option available in California at that time and was only available with an automatic.
I can't believe that this far up into this discussion no one has ventured to photoshop that chicken on the hood of a 928.
Obviously, if I had the talent I would have
Okay, but please don't kick me off RL for suggesting that
